[Elecraft] K3 - Linking the VFOs for CW - SSB switching

Hank,

You are correct for HF band usage - that operation should remain 'as is'. 
I believe the  original request came from a VHF/UHF/microwave type 
person where the type of operation that is often used is to switch to CW 
when the SSB signal gets weak.  As a result, such a function (if 
implemented) should be active only when the transverter bands are selected.

There is also a VHF desire that the CW signal will be heard when the 
receiving end is listening in SSB mode - so the CW vs. CW-reverse 
selection becomes important and the CW frequency offset desired is 
different than that normally used on HF.

73,
Don W3FPR
